The author of that piece leans to western (read: US) conservative values.  She 
also happens to believe that women should not have the right to work after 
giving birth.  They should stay home
 and look after the kids.  Basically a right-wing crackpot.


 

She does touch on something that was highlighted as a problem in Singapore by 
an ex-intelligence officer with whom we happened to have a conversation.

 


In short:


 


There are basically 3 generations of Singaporeans:


1.  People whose family originated on the island ("ethnic" Singaporeans)


2.  People who emigrated there or who were slaves (mostly Malaysians, 
Indonesians, Indians and Chinese)


3.  People who emigrated in the last few decades (mostly Chinese)


 


All 3 generations fiercely identify as Singaporeans.  Generation 2 + 3 form the 
biggest part of the population.  However, generation 1 and 2 have a slightly 
different idea of identity, or
 what it means to be a Singaporean.  For example, they value family, so they 
tend to get married and have kids before the age of 30.  So what happens is 
that in practice, Generation 1 and 2 leave the workplace sooner, and Generation 
3 overtakes them in terms
 of business success (but not family success).  This results in a ruling elite 
(in business) that has different values to the rest of the country, which 
Generation 1 and 2 don't agree with.  Generation 1 and 2 are typically older, 
more conservative, and have
 more power in government.  So they basically enforce rules which level out the 
playing field between people who want to have families when they are younger 
and people who focus more on business.  This leads to a problem where the young 
Chinese get educated
 in Singapore, but then leave because they feel that they are being held back 
by the Equity Laws.  When they become successful, they return, and use their 
new-found wealth and power to influence politics in a way that benefits them, 
which ultimately means that
 Generation 1 and 2 Singaporean values are slowly being replaced by Generation 
3 ones.  How to handle this problem?  The guy we spoke to was not sure.  In 
fact, he thought it might already be too late.


 


This is the kind of thing that the Japanese author is afraid of.  She wants 
Japan to retain its culture and values (which is ironic considering the Western 
influence on her political ideas),
 and is afraid that by treating immigrants equally they will lose their 
identity.  Well, I'm sorry to have to break this to Ms Sono, but that's exactly 
how the world works.


 


In any case, what a wonderful predicament Singapore is facing.  Imagine living 
in a country where one of your problems is that the people are working too 
hard, and are too ambitious.  I'll
 take that over the crap we have to deal with any day.
